Guardian’s founders embarked on their bitcoin journey in 2013, amassing a decade’s worth of valuable experience that forms the foundation of Guardian Bitcoin’s services. From evaluating and using a diverse set of mobile and desktop wallet software, migrating from the first generation of USB signing devices to today’s state of the art, user friendly NFC devices, to navigating the intricacies and trade offs of privacy, security, and recovery setups, they have been at the forefront of the ever-evolving Bitcoin landscape. Guardian’s services have been crafted using industry best of breed, Bitcoin only solutions, that ensure we deliver on our promise of “Self-Custody Made Simple”.

Like Guardian, River is a client-first, bitcoin only firm that is committed to empowering the long term investor. After trying virtually all of the bitcoin buying services in the market, it became clear that River is in a league of their own. Whether you’re setting up a DCA (dollar cost averaging) plan or placing $500K “smash buys”, their world class client experience team is here to assist. As a Guardian Bitcoin client, you will have access to River’s “Private Client” level of service, the lowest spreads in the industry, and zero fees on DCA plans.
Bitcoiners who self-custody understand the importance of having a backup of their private keys. The BIP-39 standard uses a set of standardized words that serve as a mnemonic to represent the private key and is referred to as a “seed phrase”. This standard combined with a stainless steel plate that is impervious to fire, corrosion, and crushing has emerged as the preferred way to backup private keys. The creative team at Punchplate has taken it a step further by developing stainless steel backup solutions for not only BIP-39 seed phrases but other products to store and protect alpha-numeric and special character based passwords. These are especially useful for backing up a “master password” for Password Manager applications and services. Guardian has partnered with Punchplate to provide a stainless steel backup solution for our client’s Inheritance Plan Magic Phrase and the Backup Password for their Tapsigner Client Key and Inheritance Key. This is the ultimate backup solution for these important pieces of information and each of our clients receive a Magic Phrase backup plate and two Tapsigner backup password plates in their Welcome Kit.
Our first transaction after launching Guardian Bitcoin was a donation to Mi Primer Bitcoin. We understand the importance of education in fostering widespread adoption and understanding of Bitcoin. John Dennehy and his team are on a mission to change the world. Their first step is to create an example in El Salvador that demonstrates and documents Bitcoin education as a tool for empowerment at mass scale. We encourage you to learn more about this important non-profit and consider making a donation to support their efforts.
